20% Good concept, everything else was phony

Rating: 4/10 (10 October 2005)

This could have been made with a little more originality but there were direct scenes and ideas taken from the following films, which call me an oldie but people seem to have forgotten them already. Heck, this thing does the opposite of the concept it talks about and steals body parts from far superior older films!

Logans Run - THX 1138 - Plenty others - and worst of all, Blade Runner. God, Steve B's line about the memories and the scene is almost totally ripped from that film!

Any quality movie aficionado should be laughing out of their seat while they watch this, or be just plain insulted. **Spoilers ahead** It looks like a music video in parts (the stupid circling helicopter scene around Ewan as he stands there - what is this, a travel commercial?) and has the same entertainment value and dumbing-down as Armageddon. I guess like some pop songs these days, doing "remakes" is acceptable if your audience is so young they don't know that it's a remake. Hey visually I can't say it doesn't keep my looking, but this borders to close to plagiarism for my liking.
